Test Facilities

CEPEDA regularly conducts acceptance, qualification, and research testing on life support equipment. We maintain fully functioning environmental and high-pressure air test facilities capable of the following:

  • Atmospheric air @ 700+ CFM with variable temperature and humidity

  • Synthetic atmospheres with known levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2)

  • Chilled water with flow rates up to 40 GPM and temperatures as low as 40°F

  • Electrical power, 440V, 3 phase

  • Monitoring of CO2, H2, and carbon monoxide (CO) levels

  • High-pressure air up to 5000 PSI at 150 SCFM

  • Airborne sound measurements per MIL-STD-740-1/-2, MIL-STD-1474, and EB5221

  • Structureborne vibratory measurements per MIL-STD-740-2

  • Data acquisition system for automated collection of pressures, temperatures, flow rates, and dew points

  • Fluidborne/in-pipe acoustic testing per DTRC liquidborne test procedure for Navy Pumps and EB 5221
